[Dixielandjazz] Dixieland Re-Creations

[Fr M J (Mike) Logsdon]

>>>For me, (again an opinion) note for note reading and/or re-creations, while
they may be art because they are done by humans and do not occur in nature,
they are not jazz, but rather music.<<<

Most likely agreed.  Luckily, there are very few true exact reproducers.  Even the Vappie Oliver CD I was hyping a while back, though purported to be a faithful reproduction of the originals, isn't.  Watters, South Frisco, Peruna... all have their own style in greater or lesser degrees.  Maybe the real distinction could go further than your suggestion:  there are artists, and there are musicians -- musicians being artists, and then some,
